Overview

  • The Cardinals designated veteran right-hander Erick Fedde for assignment following a 0-7 record and 6.38 ERA over his last 12 starts.
  • Michael McGreevy is stepping into the rotation full time after limiting the Rockies to two runs in seven innings during a spot start on Monday.
  • Right-handed reliever Andre Granillo was recalled to fill Fedde’s spot on the 26-man roster.
  • Manager Oliver Marmol described the change as an upgrade that injects youth and performance into the pitching staff.
  • Fedde, who is set to reach free agency this offseason, acknowledged an all-time low in confidence after the prolonged slump and had been eyed as a potential trade piece.
